# Abstract
* An open source Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure, also known a ditributed tracer.
* Based on [Google Dapper Paper: Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure](http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html), [Simplified Chines](http://duanple.blog.163.com/blog/static/70971767201329113141336/)
* Supports popular rpc frameworks, such as [dubbo](https://github.com/alibaba/dubbo), [dubbox](https://github.com/dangdangdotcom/dubbox), [motan](https://github.com/weibocom/motan) etc., supports email-alert when application occurs unexpected exception。
* Execution time of creating span than 100μs.
* Easy to deploy, **even in product mode** ( since 2.x ) . No need of Hadoop, HBase, or Cassandra Cluster.
# Supported components
* web container
* Tomcat7
* Tomcat8
* database
* mysql
* oracle
* h2
* easily extend to support sybase, sqlserver, jtds, db2, informix
* rpc framework
* dubbo (tested 2.5.3)
* dubbox (tested 2.8.4-dubbo protocol, 2.8.4-rest protocol)
* httpClient 4.x
* motan (tested 0.1.2)
* cache
* jedix 2.x

# v2.0-2016 Quick Start
## Required of third party softwares
- JDK 1.8
- zookeeper 3.4.6
- mysql
- redis-3.0.5
## instrument javaagent jdk version
- support 1.6+ , instruments applications can run in jdk6
## 编译与部署 / Build and deploy
- 服务端发布版本[下载](https://github.com/wu-sheng/sky-walking/releases) (.tar.gz)
- Download Server release version. [Download](https://github.com/wu-sheng/sky-walking/releases) (.tar.gz)
- [配置应用服务器](CONFIG_DOC.md)
- [config servers](CONFIG_DOC.md)
- 如果您想自己编译最新版本,可参考《[代码编译说明](BUILD_DOC.md)》
- [Code compilation instructions](BUILD_DOC.md)
## Download offical agent
[  ](https://bintray.com/wu-sheng/skywalking/com.a.eye.skywalking-agent/_latestVersion)
- 通过github-release[下载](https://github.com/wu-sheng/sky-walking/releases)
- 通过[skywalking bintray官网](https://bintray.com/wu-sheng/skywalking/)托管,可使用公网仓库[https://jcenter.bintray.com/](https://jcenter.bintray.com/)下载。
- use public repository [https://jcenter.bintray.com/](https://jcenter.bintray.com/) to download sdk
## 下载并设置授权文件 / Download auth file
- 注册并登陆过skywalking-webui,创建应用。(一个用户代表一个逻辑集群,一个应用代表一个服务集群。如前后端应用应该设置两个应用,但归属一个用户)
- Sign up and login in skywalking-webui. Create application as needed.
- 下载授权文件,放在在agent jar所在目录中
- download auth file(*.auth), and copy the auth file to directory of the agent jar
## 在运行时环境中设置环境变量 / set environment variables
```
export SKYWALKING_RUN=true
```
- 设置完成后,SkyWalking将随应用启动运行
- After set env, SkyWalking will be working, when application startup.
## 使用-javaagent 并启动应用程序 / start application with -javaagent
- 为应用程序添加启动参数
```shell
java -jar ... -javaagent:/..ospath../skywalking-agent-x.x-Final.jar
```
- Tomcat可以使用修改启动文件,配置-javaagent参数
# 在应用程序中显示traceid / How to find tid
- 通过web应用的http调用入口,通过返回的header信息,找到此次调用的traceid。前提:此web应用的url,已经使用skywalking进行监控。

# 源代码说明
* [网络传输协议、缓存文件协议说明. the protocols of transform between agent and collector, collector buffer file](doc/protocol.md)
# Recent RoadMap
* [In the schedule] v2.1-2017
* release a version following OpenTracing.io
* provide bridge mode lib to integrate data of system and tracer
* provide English doc as default. Also provide Chinese version on Gitbook or Wiki
* support log framework(log4j, log4j2, logback) to output traceid in system log.
* [Dev] v2.0-2016
* 移除对于Hadoop,HBase的依赖,降低部署和运维难度
* 使用内嵌式数据库,和分布式集群
* 移除副本发送机制
* 支持数据文件的时间分片,支持集群TB级别日志文件存储
* 支持统计和高效的准实时统计汇总
* 更多插件的支持
* motan rpc framework (provided)
* [Release] v1.0-Final
* 客户端与服务端间使用扩展后的网络协议,前置的测试版本无法兼容,以提高服务端的稳定性和健壮性。(在内部使用过程中,发生因为安全扫描,导致服务端宕机)
* 引入javaagent模式,无需修改任何代码,完成监控。
* 所有插件将基于字节码技术实现,原有的配置文件模式将被移除。
* [Release] v1.0 beta
* 修复大量前置版本的BUG
* 提供基于MR的分析能力,能够对调用链进行分析汇总,并形成调用链统计视图
* [Release] v1.0 alpha2
* 基于v1.0-alpha1的较稳定版本,在内部环境进行数月运行,修复大量影响服务端运行稳定性的问题。
* v1.0-beta,将提供定时分析任务,部分分析页面展现功能。
* 预计:后续版本将在插件模式上有较大改变,计划针对java api的拦截和第三方拦截提供更小侵入性的方法。配置和拦截模式会发生相应变化。具体模式,参考v1.0-beta发布时的说明。
